10 Social Media Tools for Smarter Marketing

Social media marketing can be as rewarding as it is challenging, but reaping the rewards of online marketing means a lot of work and knowing which social media tools to use.

With the right tools, you can create better (and smarter) marketing campaigns that don’t take up a lot of your time. Here are 10 social media tools that you can use to drive sales and make the most of your marketing.
